As a result of the prestigious Revista Apertura’s annual survey, Epidata managed to position itself among the leading companies in software and IT services for firms employing between 200 and 1000 employees.

Buenos Aires, October 23, 2023 – Epidata, a leading company in innovation outsourcing and software development with a presence in Latin America and the USA, has secured its position among the top three companies in the software and IT services sector in the “Best Employers” ranking conducted by Revista Apertura and published in October 2023.

The Best Employers ranking was compiled through an open call to companies from all sectors and industries employing more than 50 people in Argentina, with over 210 prestigious organizations participating. “We are very proud and grateful for this achievement, as it is a testament to the ongoing commitment of our Epidata team members to excellence and dedication to serving our clients,” commented Adrian Anacleto, CEO, and Founder of Epidata.

Companies were required to answer an 80-question survey focused on five thematic areas: Professional Career, Compensation, Work Environment, Hours and Conditions, and Training. Each area explored aspects such as career advancement opportunities, compensation policies, and workplace amenities, among others. Separate questions were posed to both the oldest and newest employees in the workforce, each properly identified.

Under this rigorous and meticulous evaluation process, Epidata secured the 31st position overall and ranked among the top three companies in the Software and Services category for firms employing between 200 and 1000 employees.

In a highly competitive environment, this achievement underscores Epidata’s ability to remain relevant among technology firms that, with their offerings, set high standards for companies vying to attract top talent. “Collaborative work, remote work, diversity, inclusion, and not prioritizing age as a criterion for talent acquisition make Epidata a flexible and appealing company for individuals and a knowledgeable partner for clients. Our team members, the Epidaters, have ample space to grow and make a positive impact in their work,” concluded Adrian.

Epidata’s presence at the forefront of the “Best Employers” ranking highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to excellence in the workplace and innovation in the technology sector. The company stands out not only for its position in the labor market but also for its ability to establish strategic partnerships that drive its growth and transform the software and IT services industry in Latin America, the United States, and the rest of the world.

At Epidata, we firmly believe in building work teams based on values such as merit, responsibility, and diversity, through policies that promote equal opportunities. And this implies understanding that work experience is no longer a determining factor when selecting new talent.

Having “X” years of work experience, in such a dynamic world as the present, does not in itself signify a value. On the contrary, it is human values and technical knowledge that determine someone’s aptitude for a position, regardless of how many years they have been working in a particular industry in the same way. 

Therefore, it becomes necessary to lead a paradigm shift in personnel selection processes, which involves ceasing to promote and conduct searches for collaborators based on the criterion of “work experience”, and beginning to focus on knowledge. 

For this reason, at Epidata we will stop considering all job offers that focus on “work experience” as valid, discriminating selection according to “time” variables. We invite you to discover why we believe that time is not a teacher. 

Time is not a teacher: values and skills are more important than work experience

The world of work is characterized enormously by a particular trait: its dynamism. We do not use the same applications, languages, or development methodologies that we did 10, 5, or even 2 years ago. After all, the pandemic has generated a change in perspective around technology, but also about the way we work. 

Since the pandemic, more and more organizations decided to build a better workplace by orienting themselves towards remote work, understanding all the virtues of productivity, efficiency, and comfort, without losing sight of the commitment to take on new innovative challenges for the market.

But are job search processes up to such a transformation? It seems not. We consider that measuring a person’s professional “value” by the years they have been doing a task does not make much sense. In the present day, evaluating work experience when hiring someone could be counterproductive. 

Having “10 years of experience” does not necessarily mean something relevant to the current industry. Does this mean that experience is worthless in the market? No, quite the opposite. According to the RAE, experience is “knowledge of something, or skill for it, acquired by having done it, lived it, felt it or suffered it one or more times.” Experience is knowledge, and the focus is on measuring knowledge, not “task years”. 

Epidata, promoting equal job opportunities since 2003

The elimination of searches based on the “years of work experience” criterion is just one of how we have been promoting equal opportunities since 2003. Since then we have worked on several things that we decided to do because we truly believe in them. 

For example, “blind CVs” is another way to avoid discrimination based on work experience, as well as sex, and other prejudices. We feel that it is a form of discrimination that has become naturalized in the market and that needs to be changed. Therefore, we emphasize and seek to ensure that there is no discrimination of any kind at Epidata.

Thus, the selection parameters for new collaborators are based solely on the company’s competencies and values. This has resulted, for example, in our management team being one of the most diverse in the market, with a mix of ages, religions, tastes, styles, nationalities, and a large majority of women.

Knowledge and Merit: The Key to Continuing to Grow in the Business World

Now, it’s time to stop discriminating based on “years of work experience”. In an increasingly changing world, where professionals have to adapt to the emergence of new technological challenges, the ability to transform and assimilate new skills becomes one of the determining factors in the workplace.

If we want to promote constant innovation in the market, guaranteeing developments that transform the lives of millions of people, it becomes essential that selection processes adapt to the current reality. This implies removing the selection criterion based on “years of experience” and replacing it with true knowledge and adaptability.

This will be one of the keys to the future of work, which will result in the creation of the best workplace in the coming years. The desire to grow and the acquisition of modern technical skills should guide future team selection processes at work because time is not a teacher.

As a consequence of its expansion strategy, the technology and innovation company confirmed its growth in Latin America for the fourth consecutive year. Now, it is preparing its next steps at the global level.

Buenos Aires, December 31, 2022 – Epidata, a leading company in innovation outsourcing and software development, with a presence in Latin America and the USA; confirms its sustained growth in the region and projects a development plan that will allow it to be among the 10 most important software companies of Latin American capitals by the end of 2025. 

Out of all market indicators, and despite the fluctuations generated by global inflationary effects and/or post-pandemic impacts among others, Epidata manages to grow above average, doubling its turnover to US 21 MM in 2022. Additionally, for 2021, it doubled the number of professionals working with the company, reaching more than 500 epidaters, thus consolidating its position in the region.

Its strategic growth pillars are based on creating and implementing innovative projects in an agile and methodological way for its clients and the IT ecosystem in general. To do so, it leverages its knowledge practices: Big Data, AI, Mobile Development, Software Architecture, DevOps, Application Integration, Process Automation – RPA, and Smart Cities, among others, to develop value-added solutions. It also relies on world-class strategic alliances with partners such as Mulesoft (Salesforce), Microsoft, GitLab, UiPath, Red Hat, Asana, and Automation Anywhere, which allow it to be at the technological forefront.

“We are very proud to close a year where the challenges we have set ourselves were met thanks to the ability and dedication of each of the professionals that make up Epidata. We have focused our efforts on always being close to our customers, being the remote work key in the delivery, providing innovative visions at all times, and knowing that the results are a consequence of our capabilities,” said Adrian Anacleto, CEO, and Founder of Epidata.   

At the Services level, Epidata managed to strengthen its delivery capacity, adding new talents in different countries and retaining its best professionals. This situation happens thanks to its Remote Enterprise culture focused on the client, where agile processes and methodologies allow it to be close and promote only the necessary meetings that add value. Benefits such as Epiflex, where the professional can collaborate from anywhere in the world and at any time, and 100% Remote Work, allowed it to be competitive internationally and to scale in performance. 

Also, thinking in the incorporation of young talents and the accompaniment of this first professional stage, the company carried out four Free Training Programs in Java/React (totally online), in which more than 4,406 advanced IT students and/or Jr. professionals enrolled. After the previous selection and interview process, those who advanced were part of the training and joined the work teams.

Based on this year-end panorama and its expansion program, Epidata has outlined its guidelines to continue progressing at an international level. 

To this end, it has proposed to reach a staff of 2,500 professionals, and establish bases in Brazil (2023), Mexico, and other countries in the region in the next three years. Thinking of its global projection, it has decided that the US headquarters, in San Francisco, will be the operational platform for this purpose.

To face the new challenges, it will continue with its main strategy, seeking to sustain and expand its growth pillars through its knowledge practices, to which it will add new proposals; and it will strengthen its partnership strategy, adding new partners with global projection. Likewise, it will expand its delivery capacity, increasing its talent team by 80%.

Also, to scale its organic growth, it will make Strategic Acquisitions and maintain an investment plan that can exceed normal market flows, focused mainly on RDI (Research, Development, and Innovation) and the evolution and nurturing of talent. 

“By 2025 we expect to be among the top 10 Latin capital software companies, with the ability to integrate businesses between various regions and accompany our customers in their local and regional growth. We will continue to bring the experience of best practices to the needs they have to leverage their business -and consequently ours-, seeking to help in the constant innovation of their organization,” concluded Adrian Anacleto.

The next paragraph of this article was found by our marketing team in an ancient history museum. You have been warned, reader.

For the great master Aristotle and his philosophy of republicanism, the human being “flourished” and reached his fullness within his community (also known as polis). Man or woman, the citizen reached the maximum expression of his or her faculties by contributing to the Common Good. That is to say, to that which allowed the development of both the rest of the individuals and the community itself.

But almost 2400 years have passed since the postulation of this Aristotelian thesis. How to put it into effect in today’s world? How to put it into effect given our role in the software industry? We have argued, many times and in different articles, that the world’s future is defined by one specific word: software. Software’s ubiquity makes it possible for a new way of industrialization to emerge, which has little in common with the classical industries from the past.

For instance, this ubiquity has led Epidata to the creation of technological hubs within certain universities in our country, like the National University of La Matanza (UNLaM). This allows students to gain professional experience while continuing their graduate studies. Furthermore, we have promoted the development of projects in collaboration with the Laboratory on Foundations and Tools for Software Engineering, which belongs to the University of Buenos Aires. 

Our commitment to education

Epidata is an international company with a global scope, and, during the last year, we have had different interactions with other institutions of higher education, such as Hofstra University, from the city of New York, and the University of Guelph, located at Ontario, Canada. This belief in fostering research work between the industry sector and the academy has also led to the orchestration of many IT workshops in neighboring institutions such as Andrés Bello University in Chile.

Organized within the framework of the Austral Education Group, we had the chance to interact with these academic communities. Austral Group is an educational services firm that coordinates international business academic programs and consulting experiences in Latin America, the United States and Europe. It focuses on offering business students the opportunity for personal interaction with senior executives from multinational corporations, renowned economists, senior government officials, and entrepreneurs who are shaping the business environment across the world.

While interacting both with Hofstra University and the University of Guelph, it was a fascinating experience to hear the students’ opinions on which companies are entering the US and Canadian markets with innovative strategies.

The encounters with Hofstra University and the University of Guelph were organized according to three different but complementary perspectives. The first one was Strategic Management, where the students posed questions on Epidata’s growth throughout the years. Secondly, it was the time for Human Resources, where we analyzed which values should be carried to the North American market in order to have a good performance. At this point, we made valuable exchanges sharing the particularities of our different region’s folklore. Finally, we talked about Operational Management, where we reviewed the key points on how software is actually sold.

The world is a competitive place with many “players” aiming for the same goal. But it should not be forgotten our responsibilities as global citizens, like working to have a true outreach to society and improving the lives of others. At Epidata, we believe that engaging with different higher institutions of education allows communities separated by thousands of miles to experience the benefits of shared learning and work collaboratively for a better future. Or, as Aristotle would claim, to contribute to the Common Good. 

How many times have we heard the dichotomy between soft and hard? Software vs hardware, soft skills vs hard skills, soft power vs hard power. At Epidata we wonder whether it is possible to talk about soft diversity and hard diversity. Let’s see what this comparison would look like.

Soft vs hard

By the end of November 2021, we published  On Diversity a short article about what could be defined as soft diversity. Our main argument was that in a world threatened by transnational problems, only through coordinated action could satisfying solutions be reached. We also argued that this same reasoning could be extrapolated to the inner dynamics of a company: a diverse team would be an advantage in a multifaceted and unforeseeable environment:

Let’s go from the macro to the micro:

Globalization implied, among other things, the erosion of national borders and, with this, a profound change in States’ sovereignty. Drug trafficking, climate change, terrorism and, as a product of all of them, the migratory phenomenon (which ranges from Central and South America to the remotest corners of the Middle East) show that, since these problems are not restricted to a mere national border, only coordinated action (carried out by the different agents of today’s world) is needed to solve them. Nothing like the latest pandemic to exemplify this.

This reasoning can also be taken to a smaller scale; we can say the same thing about the inner dynamics of a company. Who would dare, in today’s turbulent world, to venture out alone and without the help and experience of others? An interesting point here has to do with the apparent correlation between “multinational SMEs“ —something that seems almost an oxymoron (small but with international scope)— and respect for diversity. This international scope is attributed, at least partly, to the attitude of curiosity and shared learning, as well as to the multifaceted environment in which these exchanges take place and these enterprises emerge.

Diversity in the business world

Cultural diversity, in addition to being a key piece to knowing more than one single story and building a “tolerably fair” society, is something essential to improving professional performance. It is not accidental that a diverse team (with management that defends and supports it) reaches better solutions, is more versatile, and has a better capacity to adapt. Quoting Boston Consulting Group:
